Date of Resolved Release22-Jan-2009
A security vulnerability in IKE packet handling in the libike library:
1. Impact
A security vulnerability in IKE packet handling in the libike library
shipped with Solaris may allow a remote unprivileged user to crash the
in.iked(1M) daemon, which is a type of Denial of Service (DoS).
2. Contributing Factors
This issue can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
- Solaris 9 without patch 113451-15
- Solaris 10 without patch 140196-01
- Opensolaris based upon build snv_01 through snv_99
x86 Platform
- Solaris 9 without patch 114435-14
- Solaris 10 without patch 140414-01
- Opensolaris based upon build snv_01 through snv_99
Note 1: Solaris 8 is not
impacted by this issue.
Note 2: OpenSolaris
distributions may include additional bug fixes above and beyond the
build from which it was derived.
To determine the base build of OpenSolaris, the following command can
be used:
$ uname -v
snv_86
Note 3: The described
issue only affects systems running the IKE daemon in.iked(1M).
The in.iked(1M) daemon is configured to run on a system if the file
"/etc/inet/ike/config" is present. To determine if IKE services are
configured on the system, the following command can be run:
$ ls /etc/inet/ike/config
/etc/inet/ike/config: No such file or directory
By default, the in.iked(1M) service is disabled on Solaris systems.
3.
Symptoms
If the described issue has been exploited, the IKE daemon may no
longer be running on the system.
To determine if the IKE (in.iked(1M)) daemon is not running on a system
that has IKE configured, the following command can be run:
$ pgrep in.iked || echo
"in.iked not running but should be"
4.
Workaround
There is no workaround for this issue. Please see the Resolution
section below.
